I have recently listened to the first episode of a podcast Serial , narrated by Sarah Koenig. Its about a girl , Hae Min Lee, goes missing and her body is later found. Her high school boyfriend at the time is arrested for her murder and sentenced for life. This takes place back in 1999,and a news reporter/ journalist takes a look at the case 15 years later to investigate if he really is guilty. I listen to pod casts once in awhile, usually like TED talks, or something really random. I was introduced to them by my brother, when he comes around he subscribes to them on my phone. There is something about pod casts I enjoy. I don’t know if its the fact I can do stuff and not have to sit and stare at one spot, or the fact that my brain has to create …show more content…
Books and pod casts are very descriptive, they give you the tools to create the visual yourself from your own life, experiences, and images. This is something I enjoy about reading a book. Multiple people can read a book but what they see and take from it is different. What is said triggers memories, thoughts, and feelings different from someone else. You take what you want and need. ” No two persons ever read the same book.” – Edmund Wilson This goes for pod casts. Speaking with a student from my class we both had different ideas of what actually happened. She thinks he did it , I think he was set up. If given the choice between pod casts and book, I would choose books. Something about holding a book with hundred of pages of words is magical to me. The smell, the weight, the portability, the adventure its all very addicting. Don’t get me wrong I love pod casts. I’ll definitely listen to more only because I’m lazy I like being read to. Reading takes some effort for me, I have to find a quiet spot, no distractions, and really focus. Pod casts give me a little more than books. They give me that extra mile that I have to do with books. But that extra mile is what makes a book personal for me. When I read a book I am apart of it, and with pod casts I feel I am on the side
you to envision the book in your mind and to picture what it might look or feel like to you.
In the documentary, "Making of Murderer," a lower class man named Steven Avery is accused of the death of Teresa Halbach. The documentary demonstrates how the judiciary system dealt with the case in determining whether Steven was guilty or innocent. The intended audience in this documentary is for murder enthusiasts.
Which made this podcast a little more interesting than I thought it was going to be. It helped grab my attention but also helped me get a sense of what the movie might be since they were talking about movies I have never seen. The role of the discussion was to openly talk about bad movies and get their points across on why they thought it was a bad movie. Storytelling play a huge role in this podcast because they all had a memory of seeing the movie that they were talking about. One of the people in the podcast, I can’t remember his name, talked about how his friends would dance around the movie theater during the music parts in the movie he was talking about. I think it was the movie about Vanilla Ice. But that story really helped paint a picture in your mind of what is going on and how the movie has left a “mark” on his life. The episode made use of the rhetorical appeals by using pathos a lot. It really worked on your emotions because in the eyes of the people making the podcast they said that those movies were bad. But for a listener they could think the opposite of that and think that movie was great. It really just seemed to play on pathos and the emotions you get from certain
I found the idea of a podcast intriguing. It seem like a fun way to get kids talking about books they love to a wider audience than just their classmates. This article
In the movie you were able to give an image a lot of stuff that you could not imagine by just reading the book. But the book had some good points too. I think movies are better because the imagery is in front of your eyes not in your head and it does not take as long to watch a movie as read a book.
Ever since I was a kid, books have provided a refuge for me. I read every single book I could get my grubby little hands on (including Queen of Clean, which has failed to influence my cleaning habits...). Reading allows me to step into a characters shoes and experience the world through their perspective while also allowing me to peak into the author's psyche. The ability to understand different schools of thought is critical for the development of empathy. When you're able to understand the world from various perspectives, you're able to develop an educated view of the world along with other people.
+As soon as we open a book, we can feel not only the story that the author want to tell, but also the soul of the writer putting into the story although they have died for a long time. While we read a book, we are taken to a different world, a world that the author lived, the society that he was a part of, we think what the author thought, we love whom he loved and sometimes, we die as the way the author died in his story.
As a musician, diversifying my music taste will help my musical ability overall, helping me to perform and practice in a more efficient way. In doing so, I will end up training my ear to hear intervals better, which will greatly improve my ability to succeed in music theory. With that new knowledge, my compositions will have a drastically improved quality than my previous works. Writing music is one of my personal favorite destressors in the
In my free time, I spend an appreciable amount of time reading books, mainly about unsolved mysteries, science fiction, drama and similar genres, for example, «The girl on the train» and «A Verdade da mentira»(the truth of the lie). Along with books, I never missed an episode of my favorite series such as «Fringe» and «Dexter». I love reading and watching this type of series so much because I am genuinely curious and a good observer since I pay attention to details.
What caught my attention for books was the thickness of them. I loved turning them over in my hands and flipping through the pages. I loved carrying them to recess and having conversations with people about them. Somehow it was the easiest way that I could connect with people. To this day, if I find someone reading a book or considering checking it out of the library I don’t hesitate on filling in my own opinion of the book.
Watching every new or popular show just isn’t realistic. However, it’s important to make an effort to engage in popular culture occasionally because it’s a crucial part of how people connect.
More than two-thirds of recent audiobook buyers described audiobooks as relaxing and a good way to multi-task.
Such is the case of John Irving 's novel, The Cider House Rules and the subsequent movie, the novel was more detailed and complex allowing the reader to create their own imagery which made the book better than the movie. Some may argue that the movie was better than the book because of the various elements of movies which offered or simpler, but may be clearer story for the intended topic/theme. Also, people who have a rather hard time with concentration may argue that the movie was better in terms that they could not “get into” the book as much as they could the movie.
Innovation has become one of the most important issues in modern culture, these days not only in the context of business and technology but also in environmental and climate changes. The changes in the environment impacts economies, populations, governments and cultures at a local level (Woerd 2002). Woerd (2002) also mentions that changes at a local level contribute to changes at a national and global level. All organisations worldwide are suffering with the environmental impacts that are places on them, and need to implement changes that are going to be achievable. The success of a business depends on how well the process is managed (Linsu Kim & Richard R. Nelson 2000). In businesses today technology and innovation is one of the
I’ve started to listen to podcasts and watch videos as I go about my daily routine, hoping to absorb the information through some sort of auditory osmosis. Even as I write, there is a YouTube video on Epicurus playing in the background. I listen to NPR podcasts while I drive. I listen to audiobooks and poetry readings when I don’t have the time to read them. I cram learning and information into every task, every part of my day, to fulfill this consuming desire for knowledge, a fundamental part of who I am.
